Jockohomo DataPanik on an installation in the lobby of my homewtown paper:

Moveable Type, a new permanent art installation in the lobby of the New York Times is the ultimate in real and virtual news. Created by artist Ben Rubin and UCLA professor/statistician Mark Hansen, 560 vacuum-fluorescent display screens mounted on 2 walls use statistical methods and natural-language processing algorithms to parse the daily output of the paper (news, features, editorials) and the archives, as well as the activity of visitors to the paper’s website, browsing, searching, commenting etc. Watch a Video of the installation, read more from Flowing Data, check out a few more shots of the installation.
